Knights Preview
The Knights lost by 135 runs in their last game against North West, putting an end to their nine-game unbeaten run. This team has not been in bad form. However, despite losing by 135 runs in their last game, they have won three and drawn one in their last five, beating South Western Districts by seven wickets, EC Linyathi by 88 runs, and Mpumalanga by nine wickets; their only draw was against Easterns.

Lions Preview
The Lions drew their last game against the Rocks, leaving them unable to win their last two games. The team has been in better form recently, winning three, drawing once, and losing once. They have won three times over Titans by 120 runs, Moothee Ram Tuskers by 47 runs, and the last win was over Rocks by 34 runs; the only loss was against Titans by three wickets before drawing against Rocks in their last game.

Knights vs Lions Prediction
Both teams have won three times each in their last five games. But the Lions will still win here because they have won three of the last five head-to-head games against the Knights. With that head-to-head dominance, I believe the away team will win. My prediction is Lions to win, with 1xBet offering odds of 1.55.
